Soporte de texto de introducción. Describe la sección en una o dos oraciones.
Worker-centered advocacy
Policy and public action land differently when workers are in the room—sharing shop-floor stories, naming hazards, and steering what “safety” means in practice.
Community-based action
Neighbors, unions, faith groups, and local partners show up together—petitions, rallies, mutual support—so demands for safer work aren’t carried alone.
Training, outreach, and organizing
Trainings, tabling, phone trees, and follow-up turn one-off interest into sustained campaigns people can stay part of over time.
